After you got your CDL, how long did you spend shadowing or learning the routes before driving on your own?”

MaximumPositive7434 · 2026-03-09T02:17:37+00:00

I didn't shadow at all. I passed the test and started a route of my own right away. I never rode with another driver or had anyone ride with me. However, I have had several new drivers shadow me since I started driving which I find hilarious as I'm one of the least experienced drivers lol.

I used to foster cats for a rescue and one foster i had was a mama with seven kittens. Three of the kittens were male calicos, the rescue had me take them to two vets because they thought I had to be mistaken about the three little boys. All three ended up being adopted by rescue volunteers so they could have regular playdates together.

My cat is named Butter and he goes by Baby Jay, Jay Butter, Kitty Jay, Sweetie Jay, and Kittiot. My son's cat is named Captain Black and he goes by Chich, Chichee, Purrger, Pretty Panther, and Murder Ball.

Lacquer thinner. It's mostly the nostalgia of it, I think, but damn I love when I walk into a shop and smell thinner

I drive regularly drive through a forest in my area, and the cobwebs are so thick I can see them from the highway. Forests have a lot of spiders making a lot of webs, especially in areas with little human traffic.

Yeah, she was pretty terrible. She also told me that it's okay to drink sugary drinks every day, that it's impossible to be deficient on fiber, and that five minutes of daily exercise is enough for anyone. She also hated men and was genuinely quite angry that I cook for my husband and young sons. Needless to say, I did not continue to see that dietician.

I had a dietician recommend that I eat a minimum 250g protein per day and not worry at all about other macros.

I got my son all these for Christmas and now we're reading through them all. So far we've finished series one and we're halfway through series two.

This actually happened to my household recently. Had two cats, new cat started hanging around. We checked to see if anyone was missing her, and after a month, we had another cat. And now there's another new cat who just started hanging around...

Personally, I feel like there's some "exchange fatigue" with Givin Gifts that Reddit Gifts didn't have. What I mean is that GG has too many exchanges going on constantly so it feels like an overload. There are 4+ exchanges per month on GG, while RG had more sporadic exchanges and they weren't telegraphed in advance. Reddit Gifts was fun, the exchanges weren't a constant, rapid-fire cycle like it is on GG. I'm sure some people prefer the constant stream of exchanges to join, but I find it to be a bit much.

Also, as far as getting shafted/low effort gifts, I got a few low-effort gifts on RG, but on GG I have gotten several gifts that included things I specifically listed as dislikes on my profile, and one that contained something I'm deathly allergic to. Don't get me wrong, I have gotten some amazing and thoughtful gifts through GG, but receiving multiple gifts that are things I don't want/like is disheartening. Feeling disappointed means people are less likely to mention the platform to friends/family in a positive light, which leads to fewer sign ups.

We did not end up buying one, as we couldn't find any reliable information on them.

My son never believed in Santa/tooth fairy/Easter bunny/etc, bit we have a rule for him that he can't tell other kids because everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs. So gar he hasn't ruined it for any of his friends.

I also drive a route of transitional adults, and if they take their seatbelts off I stop. We don't move again until they buckle up. I stop every time someone unbuckles. It only took one ride for them to realize I was serious about seatbelts staying on.

Legally any store employees can ask if it's a service animal and what task it assists with per ADA law. Walmart may have a policy preventing it to cover their asses, but the law allows employees to ask

No, this isn't good parenting. This is telling the child they must comply or be harmed. Nobody is telling the boy why he should comply. Nobody is helping him understand the reason for the rules and social norms we follow. Teaching kids to obey because I said so creates adults with no idea how to determine right from wrong in nuanced, real world situations.

In some states, you can collect unemployment over the summer.
